genpkgindex from gentoolkit. Newer versions of portage (2.2.x) will also
auto generate this file.

The tbox uses this exact copy.

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/portage/local/bin/genpkgindex

Then it gets called from a bashrc such as..

if [ "$EBUILD_PHASE" = "postinst" ];then
        if [ "${ROOT}" == "/" ] || [ "${ROOT}" == "" ] &&
[ "${FEATURES/*genpkgindex*/}" != "$FEATURES" ]; then
                [ -x ${PORTDIR}/local/bin/genpkgindex ] &&
${PORTDIR}/local/bin/genpkgindex
        fi
fi
